Architecture & Design Museum Helsinki

The museum consists of two buildings and several exhibitions, all accessible with a single ticket. During your visit, stop by the museum shop and café. Admission is always free for visitors under 18.

A new museum building is being planned for the South Harbour of Helsinki. The revised proposals by the architecture competition finalists are now open for public viewing and comments! In the Museum 2030 section of our website, you can follow the progress of the new building and learn more about this international project. The competition results will be announced on 11 September 2025.

The museum has two shops, one in each building, that you can visit during your museum visit or while passing by. The selection covers a wide range of different design fields. You’ll find iconic design objects, architecture and design books, fashion, glass, ceramics, and more. The shops also feature rotating collections of jewelry and products by graphic designers and illustrators. The museum shops are open during museum opening hours.

In addition to our popular and much-loved guided architecture walks, we are offering something new this summer. The museum’s architecture experts have curated an audio tour featuring 24 fascinating architectural sites in central Helsinki. Walk, look and listen all at your own pace.
